An Eccentric Monarch.
HOW he FOOLED HIS PHYSICIANS AND CURED HIN

SELF.
King Ernest, of Hanover, was an eccentric, -
and the following story furnishes fair nlustra-
ton OF the sort OF originality In which he was apt
to indulge: Once his majesty was Ill for several
weeks, really ILL seriously, at his age. The doc
tors, OF course, came every day, sometimes twice
or more and they prescribed as usual Any one
who has been ill for any length OF time, and who
has been attended in the ordinary way once or
twice day by one doctor, will know what vart-
GUS medicines are prescribed and changed again
and again under each phase OF the disease, and he
would probably be astonished to see all the medi-
cines which he had drank during his illness. Any
one may then conceive what quantity was likely
to be ordered and what changes were likely TO be
rung by bevy OF doctors with such precious per-
sonage as king for patient. As any bottle or
powder was brought his majesty said "Put It IN
it in the cupboard" Not one drop was touched.
Starving and patience were the only remedies
resorted to. Atlast his majesty got his good turn
and began to feel that he could eat again with
relish and by degrees nature flung on the dis
order, whatever It was, which had run its course
His majesty was up and dressed early and at
business. "Get all these bottles and powders and
Dill-bOxeS out OF the cupb0ardS," he said, land
range them in row all round the ROOM" It was
q very small room, and they almost made circle
around the wallis The doctors came in smirktng
and smiling, and congratulated the king on being
up again and looking SO well eyes, doctors, "
said his majesty; "thank God 1t Is so. But look
there-count 1t up. Don't you think that II had
drank ali that stun should have been dead long

The Shepherd Reviewing stand.
WHY THE LABoRING MEN DECLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE PROCESSION.

WHY THE LABORiSG MEN DECLINE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THE PROCESSION.
A trouble has risen in connection with the ar
engagements for the reception to ex-Gov Shepherd,
which may result in the withdrawal OF all the
labor organizations that, 1t was expected, would
take part In the procession. At the last meeting
OF the Federation OF Labor Unions the invitation
TO organizations represented there to take part in
the procession Was declined. This action was
taken, 1t was stated, because the executive COM
mittee mad given the contract for building the re-
viewing stand to Mr.. ID. j. Macarty, who they
assert Is non-unlon man. Another reason alleged
for the action Is The prominent part taken in the
arrangements by Mr.. Albert Gleason, with whom
the Knights OF Labor had a contest when
Mr.. Gleason interested himself in send
ing men from this city to fill the places
OF striking car-drivers in New York. Mr.. E. W.
oyster, president OF the Federation, has written u
letter notifying the committee OF arrangements
OF the action OF the Federation. MIR. c. s. Moore.
chairman OF the committee on civic parade, said
to STAR reporter to-day that he had received
such letter. 1t expressed sympathy with the
purposes Of the demonstration, but stated that
labor organizations could not, under the ctrcum-
stances take part in it. Mr.. Moore expressed the
hope that the matter would be satisfactorily ar
ranged. The committee had expected, he said,
that there would be several thousand men in line
from the labor organizations.
1t Is stated that no contract for building the
viewing stand has been made.

Advances to Disturbing Officers.

IMPORTANT DECISION OF THE FIRST CONTROLLER.
The Acting Secretary OF War; in cOmmunca-
ton to the Secretary OF the Treasury, raises the
question OF the right OF the heads Of Departments
to have advanced to their dsDursing agents public
money In excess OF the penalty OF any bonds they
may have given. He thinks that such advances
can be made under section 364S OF the Revised
Statutes which gives the Preai tent authority TO
order such advances, and that the heads OF
Departments are presumed to be acting under the
authority Of the President in ASKING such
advances and can ask The same without his eX-
press direction. The Secretary OF the Treasury
refers the letter to the First Controller for report.
The First Co .trOler reports that no advance OF
public money can be made to any one for any pur-
directs the same to be done, and to whom; and
that this advance should not exceed the penalty
OF the di,bursing officers bond, except in special
cases. He reports that the first gen.
eral order for such advances was by Presi-
dent Pierce in March, 1853; and that
order limits the sum advanced to the amount
or the security given by the person to whom the
advance is made. The Controller holds that that
order Is still binding, and Will SO remain until
vOked by Executive order or cOatravened by some
act Of Congress. He reports that the secretaries
OF the Treasury have observed that order except
In few Instances, viz: diSDursing officers who pay
the salaries OF the various officers and employees
OF the Government, having the money thus
advanced in their hands but short time, and
where payments are SUBJECT to inspection at any
the respective departments. He recommends that
advances be not made in excess Of the penalty Of
the respective bonds given, except in special
referred to-
